Vspecification and the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same. n

The object of the invention is to provide an improved doll which may be adjusted or Vpositioned to'represent either an animal, or

a doll having a human face andvdressed all in fur, or, as it might be, a doll with the body of an animal and a childs or other human face. v

To these ends the invention consists in an animal doll, such as the well known Teddy bear doll, having the back of its head formed to represent a human face and having its head preferably pivoted toY turn on its body so that with the head turned to one position the doll viewed from the front will appear as a TeddyA bear or other toy animal, and with its head turned half around will appear as an ordinary doll having a human face and dressed all in fur, or as a doll with a human face and the body of an animal'.

The accompanying drawings lshow a Teddy bear doll constructed to embody the invention in a Vpreferred form.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a front quartering view of the doll, showing its animal face turned toward the front. Fig. 2 is a front view yof the head and upper part of the body, showing the head turned half way around from the Vposition 'shown in Fig. 1 to show the childs face. Fig. 3 is a section of the head and upper part of the body taken on a plane extending through from front to rear, and with the head in the position shown in Fig. l. y

Referring to the drawings, the body 10 of the doll including its arms and legs may be` formed in any usual or suitable manner, and will preferably be covered with suitable material, such as plush, torepresent fur.V The head 11 is formed torepresent the head of a bear except that ron the side opposite to the bear face 12, the head is formed to represent a childs face as shown at 13. TheV head maybe made in any suitable manner, but is preferably formed of a filling of hair or otherV suitable material covered with plush or other material to represent fur, eX- cept for the portion which forms the childs face. The childs face may beV formed in any suitablel manner, but is preferably Vformedby using an ordinary molded face such as is commonly used on dolls, and setting the same. into anV opening cut in the plush or other material with which the* y greater portion of the head is covered, the edges of the plush beingsewed or otherwise secured about the'childs face so as to give the appearance of a hood, asjseen in Fig. 2.

The head is secured to the body by means permitting it to be turned on the body, so

that either the bear face or the childs face may be turnedto face toward the front. The means shown in Fig. 3 for so pivotally securing the head to the body comprises two; disks of heavy card-board or other suitable material 14, one inside the lower part of the head and the other inside the upper part of the body, anda pivot pin 15 extending through the two disks and throughl the body and head covering between Y the disks.

Dished washers 16 are inserted between the -ends ofthe pivot pinrand thev disks 14, and the ends ofthe pin are formed to hold the disks and washers together. VThe head covering may be secured to the 'upper disk` 14:

by cords or threads 17 extending into the filling of the head or in Vany other suitable manner, as by pasting, and thejbody coverf i ing may also be pasted or otherwise secured to the lower disk 14.

An animal doll having' its body and its head except for a portionon one side thereof formed to represent the body and head of an animal and covered with material to represent fur, and having its head Vformed to represent a human face on the sidewliich is not covered with thel material representf ing fur and on the opposite side to repre- Y sent the face of an animal, the covering material extending about the human face to have the appearance of a hood, and the head including the covering material thereon being vertically pivoted to the bod-y to permit either faceV to be turned to the front.
